The project of putting up an exclusively
summer hotel at Winchester Place, shown
among the illustrations, which is about five
minutes walk from the depot, has been
talked of for some time past, aHd the matter

lieved that a frst-class hotel would be a

saline matter. This quantity, taken in con-
nection with the character of salts present,
will fully entitle the water to the name OF D

are hydrachloric acid, sulphuric acid, carbon,

Carroll County Fifty Years Ago.

[From the pen of Col. Wesley W. Garner,
a resident of Manchester, Nd, at the time of
tho formation of Carroll county, pioneer of
Iowa Territory in 1910, and now residing at
Columbus City, Iowa.
Carroll county was formed out of parts
of Baltimore and Frederick counties.
The law took effect January 10Th, 1887.
A celebration of the event took place on
Friday, January u, 1887, at Westminster,
Nd. The Military Band, under the direc-
ton of their leader, Capt. Jacob Frank
forter, left Manchester on the morning of
the 9th in sled drawn by four horses,
and returned from Westminster ON the
following day (the writer is the only sur
viviug member of the band of those pres
ent). The town of Westminster contained
at that time less than five hundred inhabi-
tants. The lack of population was made
up in good will and fine treatment Of all
their guests. A procession was formed
under the direction of Col. Thomas Hook
as chief marshal, and Adjutant Jacob
Powder, Jr., assistant, as follows

Owing to deep snow that fell on JAN
uary 21st, the condition of the street for
marching purposes caused the procession to
form and move direct to the Union Church,
much to the relief Of all parties, as the day
was too cold for comfort. On the arrival
at the church, after the seating of the
audience, the chief marshal called the house
to order and announced the following pro-
gramme:
Sacred Music by the Band.
Prayer by the Rev. Augustus Webster, of the
Methodist Protestant Church.

The chief marshal announced the ending
of the ceremony Of. the day and dismissed
the people.

ty took place in March, A. D. 1897. On

held their first meeting in building known

Westminster has many advantages. 1t is
1000 feet above tide, its altitude giving it
pure and invigorating air, free from all
malarial influences and highly promotive of
health. 1t is also free from mosquitoes,
those almost universal summer pests, SO
annoying to the inhabitants of the lowlands
and along the water courses, to the dwell
lers by the sea and to the citizens of our
chief cities. The surrounding country is
one of surprising loneliness, Astounding in
fertile valleys, and majestic hills, traversed
with excellent roads leading to rural scenery
that, like the ever-changing kaleidoscope,
continually presents to the eye something
s.cver charming, ever new Nowhere is
the scenery more beautiful, the climate more
healthful, or the water more pure. : The
drainage is perfect. On one side the water
flows to the Patapseo and thence mingles
with the waters Of the Chesapeake, and on
the other it flows through tortuous courses
into the historic Potomac. The nightsSre
